Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 4 cups whole almonds

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature for baking these delectable almonds to perfection.

2. Melt Butter: Place the butter in a 13″ x 9″ pan and allow it to melt in the preheated oven. This process typically takes about 7 minutes, resulting in a smooth and velvety base for coating the almonds.

3. Prepare Egg Whites: While the butter melts, take the time to beat the egg whites with salt until they become frothy. Gradually add the sugar to the mixture, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.

4. Incorporate Almonds and Cinnamon: Gently fold in the almonds and ground cinnamon into the egg white mixture, ensuring that each almond is evenly coated with the delightful blend of spices.

5. Combine Almonds with Butter: Once the butter has melted in the pan, pour the almond mixture onto it, tossing the almonds with the melted butter until they are thoroughly coated. This step ensures that the almonds achieve a crispy and golden exterior during the baking process.

6. Bake to Perfection: Place the pan of almonds in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, making sure to toss the almonds every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent them from sticking together. This process allows the almonds to develop a crunchy texture and intensifies their aromatic cinnamon flavor.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to a golden perfection, remove the cinnamon glazed almonds from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm or at room temperature, savoring each crunchy bite filled with the delightful sweetness of cinnamon.

8. Storage Tips: Store any leftover cooled almonds in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness for up to 2 weeks, ensuring that you can enjoy this delectable snack whenever cravings strike.
